Kaja Sokola, former teen model, accuses Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault

A former teen model and aspiring actress from Poland says she was sexually abused by Harvey Weinstein when she was just 16, according to a new lawsuit.

Kaja Sokola had just moved to the United States in 2002 when she was introduced to the now-disgraced movie mogul, who arranged to meet her for lunch to help her with her career, a new Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit says.

But when they met, “instead of taking her to lunch, as promised, Harvey Weinstein took Sokola without her consent to his apartment,” claim the court papers, filed Thursday.

“He would not let her leave until after he terrified and sexually abused her,” the court documents allege.

A rep for Weinstein did not immediately return a request for comment.
